All basin side slopes must meet the recommendations within the required geotechnical report. 11) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Provide the dimensioned right-of-way width for Corona Road. Label the existing right-of-way dimensions. 12) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.20: Verify that all easements of record are graphically shown on the proposed site plan along with the recordation information. 13) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.32: Revise the site plan to show the maneuverability for all refuse containers located on the subject property. 14) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: Provide a detail with dimensions for refuse container, show or label gates or doors for trash enclosures. The enclosure must have a minimum inside clear dimension of 10 feet by 10 feet between steel pipes that are required between the container and the enclosure's rear and sidewall. Refer to DS Sec.6-01 for refuse container requirements. 15) DS Sec.2-01.2.1.C: Revise the landscape plan to reflect the SVTs that are shown on the revised site plan. Provide a note on the landscape plan to state no structures and vegetation is allowed within 30" to 72" in height and will not be placed within the sight visibility triangles. Remove any proposed vegetation within the sight visibility triangle areas that obstructs sight visibility. 16) Ds Sec.10-02.14.3.3: Revise the site plan to provide for the required maintenance access ramp into the proposed basin. A minimum 15-foot wide vehicular access ramp is required into the basin, verify that the landscape plans do not interfere with the required 15-foot access ramp. 17) DS Sec.11-01.9: Revise the site plan to provide the required 2-feet setback from all property boundaries to the proposed limits of grading, fill slopes, detention/retention basins, and associated erosion protection. Provide cross-sections on the site plan for the proposed basin that shows the limits of grading and the required 2-feet setback from property line. 18) Per Division Directive and the proposed drainage report a bleeder pipe is required at the basin outlet to ensure positive drainage. Provide the location and dimensions of the bleeder pipe in the detail for the basin. All Basins must be designed to eliminate standing water and mosquito infestation. Infiltration test will be required prior to site plan approval to ensure that the Basin drains within the 12-hour requirement. 19) DS Sec.2-02.2.2.B: Clearly indicate on the site plan which portions will be constructed in phases, in conjunction with other major activities. Show Phase numbers and clearly delineate. Each phase must function independent of future phases, provide development calculations for each phase. 20) DS Sec.2-02.1.2: A base plan is required for all development projects. Stockpiles are not an exception. Stockpiling where the project disturbance area is 1 acre or larger the intent of the use of the stockpile shall be shown on a base plan and the grading permit should be pending base plan approval or in review. 21) DS Sec.11-01.2.3.A: A bond shall be posted for native seeding. If grading construction does not commence within 60 days after grubbing, the disturbed area shall be native seeded within 30 days following the expiration of the 60 day period. a) Acceptable temporary controls during grading construction and up to the 60 +30 day period of non-activity: - interim erosion and sediment controls as indicated by standard accepted BMP's - spray-ons - unestablished vegetation - water truck for dust abatement - daily sweeping of the streets b) For stockpiles that expect to last longer than a couple of months, the accepted permanent erosion protection shall be in the form of: - established revegetation - gravel or rock 22) Per DS Sec.11-01.11.1: "The faces of cut and fill slopes shall be prepared and maintained to control against erosion. This control may consist of effective planting. The protection for the slopes shall be installed per the geotechnical recommendations and as soon as practicable and prior to calling for final approval. Where cut slopes are not subject to erosion due to the erosion-resistant character of the materials, such protection may be omitted." 23) Be advised that further comments may be forth coming on resubmittal of the site plan, drainage report and geotechnical report. DRAINAGE REPORT: 24) Revise the drainage report and any necessary changes to the site plan to show all curb openings with hydraulic calculations for design. Specifically Keynote #28 references a 24-foot curb opening that is not referenced in the drainage report. Verify that all curb openings that are within the drainage report show up on the revised site plan. 25) DS Sec.10-01.2.2: Provide a geotechnical report with building setbacks from the proposed interim channel and basin, infiltration rates for retention basin, and slope stability recommendations for basin/channel design, slope stability, and proposed riprap splash pad. Clarify if the drainage report and site plan match the geotechnical report. 26) DS Sec.10-02.14.2.6: Revise the hydraulic calculation sheets and the details for the channel slopes to meet the minimum recommendations within the required geotechnical engineering report. 27) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Provide a revised drainage report showing scupper calculations that demonstrate that the 10-year flood flow is contained under the sidewalk. Any scupper proposed under the sidewalk will be designed and constructed to convey the 10-year flood flow. GEOTECHNICAL REPORT: 28) DS Sec.10-01.III.3.5.1.3.a, 10-02.14.2.6: Provide a geotechnical report evaluation that addresses the following: a) Soils report should provide conformance with DS Section 10-02.14.2.6 regarding 30-foot boring for basin, and provide a discussion of the potential for hydro-collapsible soils and any recommendation for setbacks from building to proposed retention/detention basins, water harvesting basins and constructed interim channel. b) Provide slope stability recommendations for all proposed constructed slopes. c) Provide pavement structure design recommendations. d) Provide percolation rates for retention/detention basins for 5-year threshold retention. GRADING PLAN: 29) DS Sec.11-01.2.1: A grading permit will be required for this project due to the cut and fill quantities provided on the site plan. Fill quantities shown exceed the 50 cubic yards so a grading plan and a grading permit application will be required after site plan approval and prior to any construction activity. 30) Please ensure that any future grading plan will be consistent with the site plan and drainage report. Grading standards may be accessed at: http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/dsd/DevStandsTOC.pdf 31) DS Sec.11-01.4.1.C.4: Provide a General Note stating that all CMU walls and retaining walls will require a separate permit for review and approval by all necessary Development Services Departments. 32) Provide a general note on the grading plan to state the following; "Call for a Pre-construction meeting prior to start of earthwork.
